That first paragraph oozes irony.

and he has paid his tax right? right?
mjr@infosec.pub · 50 pts · 203d
Officially, he lives abroad, so doesn't pay taxes here, so can't truly be said to be " of this country ". I suggest we bar him.

So, he’s an immigrant.
Buffalox@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 203d
But he is ENTITLED to his wealth, he is obviously entitled to exploit others and to be extremely privileged.
You know that because he is rich, he is a higher class of being, a class that needs to be protected because it's only fair that some people have all the privileges.
/s (just in case)

Funny because the UK colonized half the fucking planet just for tea and curry.

Oh look, a billionaire baby boomer who thinks immigrants are the problem.
Can we get his head sized for a basket please?

Last time they kept out immigrants, with Brexit, some industries immediately ran into problems. Maybe if they'd start talking wage increase and free training before closing borders they'd make sense, but that's probably an even bigger "resource drain from the state" according to that guy.

Does that include the thirteen overseas players in the Manchester United squad?

Who doesn't love in Morocco really?

I do it every time I can.
But this pig doesn't do that because he claims he lives in Monaco.

Yes I bet they have massive problems with Vikings roaming the streets and pillaging everything, as has always been their habit.

Some people just can't get over the imperial mind set. And also when he says immigrats he %100 means non white immigrants lol.

A racist "leader," with his mind firmly entrenched in the disgraceful ancestry of British imperialism.
Remember, folks: the poor, the marginalized people and the refugees are not our enemies.

UK, take note of what is happening in the USA and don't let it happen to you.
Fermion@mander.xyz · 7 pts · 203d
Not just the UK. There is a coordinated push to use nationalism to replace democracy with oligarchy all across the world right now. The US is simply the most obvious example due to the orange one lacking any semblance of subtlety.
People need to watch for and oppose media consolidation, anti-immigrant rhetoric, ballooning law enforcement spending, surveillance and online id requirements. These are all hallmarks of groups aiming to install an authoritarian regime.

I thought they solved the situation with Brexit. Oh well...

Why is everybody so hung up on where people are from? Shouldn't a person's actions matter a lot more than where they were born?
dunestorm@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 203d
I bet he doesn’t pay any fucking tax, unlike legal citizens to this country, no matter their origin…
He’s part of the problem, if all big companies and millionaires, billionaires paid tax, everything would be so much better funded that we’d be living in a parallel utopia.

Ironically, due to brexit, instead of European immigrants, most come from Nigeria. Which is worse for no-one except the racist knobheads that pushed for brexit who ended up with people with more melanin in their skin.
